Hi!
    Abdoukarim And Bailo,
                   Glad you like the poem. Mutabaruka is indeed one conscious brother.
 
Alieu, thanks for that powerful poem. Have a good night.

Buharry,
 
I am a big fan of Mutabaruka. I used to listen to his lyrics in the late 1980' s and early 1990's but it seems they are now harder to come by. Probably, I am not searching in the right places. However, I have checked with my local reggae music stores with no success of getting his works. 
I think his "This poem" and "Judge better must come" are very appealing. Thanks for sharing.
